Sleets Gill Beck Falls

Sleets Gill Beck Falls


Unfortunately there is nothing much to say about these falls. What would look impressive as a raging fall is usually found dry so don't make a specific trip to these falls. Check on them if we have had a lot of rain or after snow when the melt water may flood down. At the time of my visit there was just a trickle hidden under the rock bed.

Along the road (B6160) between Kilnsey and Kettlewell, take the left turn to towards Arncliffe Cote. After approx 1.Km you will pass a lone barn of the left. The road will then bend to the right, stop here the falls at at the side of the road on your left.

Mill Scar Lash

Mill Scar Lash

On the way between Threshfield and Kilnsey, on the River Wharfe is Mill Scar Lash, a wide fall in 2 main drops of approx 1.5-2m. 
Follow the B6160 north towards Kilnsey. 2 Miles north of Threshfield you will pass a solitary farmhouse on the right hand side of the road. 
Approx 400m past this there is a lay-by on the right just past a gate. Park here and walk back 60m to the gate. 
Go through the gate and walk across the field towards the river following the wall on your right as it turns to run parallel with the river. 
As the wall turns back towards the river there is a defunct stile to cross (with care). The upper part of the falls is in front of you.
